Except waiting for mathematical elimination -- I can't wrap my head around why people would do that. But it's not a deal breaker. Accepting what is to be and putting your focus on the general is exactly what I'd like to happen.

What war? If she makes it in she'll start WW3.

That war. Ya think she'll get up there on stage and talk about how real fucking important real world peace is?

I don't, so .............

The new voters - they will not be ordered and cajoled and lied into getting into a line they were never in, in the first place.

Here is my problem - There is no way I can see to believe a word Hillary says. And what she has always proudly stood for, I cannot stomach - war, fracking, cluster bombs, stuffing people into private (or public) prisons, etc. Those things cannot be explained away, and she is still for all of those things. So I will just be skipping the depressingly inevitable unity threads. Unity requires so much denial of things I consider important to actual people that I cannot countenance it.

...on several issues once the primary is over, particularly on foreign policy. But as long as she is not worse than trump, right?
